Why I Left Facebook

This post might seem kind of odd after last night’s celebratory post. I dedicate so much of my time and energy to talking about why the Internet is so special and wonderful.

Celebrating 2020

I wasn’t actually planning on doing a celebration post. Like many of you, I’ve been trying so hard to forget 2020. But, here we are.

Suicide hill earned its name from the many broken limbs it claimed as the most famous, yet dangerous, sledding spot in the […]
